IGN64 reported a while back that Michael Jordan, the former shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls championship years, will lend his likeness to the upcoming NBA Live 2000 from EA Sports. To back up this story, we even conjured up a fine piece of box art announcing Jordan's unforeseen return to the world of videogames after a lengthy absences. Now, through the magic of high-speed photography, some dedicated "Jordan-watchers" and the internet, we bring you an actual picture of Jordan doing something in the N64 version of Live 2000.

"I believe I can fly"

It sure looks like him, so this screen shot serves as undeniable proof that Jordan will be in Live 2000. Unlike Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster or Chyna's wrestling talent, Jordan's existence has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and is cause for celebration.

IGN64 believes that the Jordan featured in NBA Live 2000 may in fact be the older, smarter, more mature Michael Jordan that relied on the jumpshot, rather than the younger, superhuman, scoring dynamo that torched Larry Bird's Boston Celtics for 63 points in the playoffs. We will have more on Jordan's return to the leag--...,er, videogame universe as such information becomes available.
